Nier Automata x Dollfie Dream

After having slept on it the ONLY thing I can think of that doesn't seem perfect (for me) about 2B is her bust size. I think the dy lower half is accurate, but she struck me as having an L bust rather than a dy shapely. I'm glad it looks like they're already smooth based on the fabric.

 

edit: Amara77 there is actually a good shot in this tweet: https://twitter.com/Re_nge/status/1041630675181297666 It's not fuzzy and shows both of the faces well.

That pic is more clear, but I can't tell if her face is too full for me. I need different angles. We all know how Volks is..

My only question is do I order one 2B or two? The second one to have repainted, obviously...

 

I am only going to want the heads + eyes, probably not even the wigs, so I will probably be posting splits.

Pamphlets were gone by the time we arrived but I'm not surprised. Sadly this means I can't scan the pamphlet for you all to see. (And haven't seen it myself)

 

I went to view the dolls three times through the evening and basically had to be pulled away each time. They are absolutely stunning in person and seeing 2Bs face here shows they did a perfect job on her.

 

I wasn't considering 9S before but I kinda am now cause they look great together.

 

I think 2B was displayed with black hands rather than gloves so she can grip the sword. Shame cause 9S's gloves were really nice. Hoping she has an alternate glove option.

 

She really didn't look like a Dynamite bust to me. L probably but not DDdy. Seems they may have used a DDdy bottom (dem thighs) but a smaller top. Not sure how that would work but she seemed well balanced to me with the smaller looking chest. Perhaps I'm wrong though.

 

Only detail that bothered me is the lining showing at the waist in the dress. But I guess that's better than having stained girls. Still I hope they manage to get that hidden before release.

Throws wallet at screen....oh wait.. it's not October yet....

 

9S is love at first sight for me. I thought I would always prefer more mature boy sculpts, but I definitely want to bring him home. His face is angelic. This was worth the wait, Volks has done a fantastic job. Can't wait for more pics!

 

I didn't realize it, but its been 3 years since I bought a fullset Dollie dream! not that I really needed an excuse!

Thank you so much! They have exceeded my expectations... rip my wallet. I was hoping they'd be later, but let's see if I can pull this lol.

 

The full schedule for the project should be released before pre-orders start, but "delivery" is likely to say something like "around autumn 2019."

 

You can see an example of how they do it here.

If there is any variation, like planning to have 9S shipping ahead of 2B, they will tell you as a part of the project info, but you will probably need to read all the fine print in the project pages for details.

 

Just to add one point to that, The Idolmaster preorder was three dolls instead of the usual two which may be part of the reason it was split into two shipments.

 

I believe the same thing happened with the Macros pre-orders, and that was only two dolls.

Here are some photos I took earlier tonight at the concert, intended to get as many angles as possible. Click through for the full resolution shots. I couldn't get any rear shots because the LED lights in the case washed them out. 2B and 9S are looking very good! 2B looks to have Dynamite hips and thighs combined with a shapely L bust to nicely match her in-game model. No idea if 9S comes with his sword too, but the fact that he has separate gloves while 2B has coloured hands suggests that he won't. I thought that their PODs turned out quite nicely. The dress material wasn't as silky as I was expecting, but I kept in mind these are the prototypes. (The concert itself was wonderful, too.)

Wayfinder thanks, those are the best pics I've seen so far. Even the ones Volks uploaded from the venue werent that great and had bad lighting/looked like typical phone photos.

 

I'm really glad that this time, the boy is cheaper than the girl. Obviously I know that Len and Kirito did come with more than Rin and Asuna, but the extra cost on them almost felt like a boy tax or something. But 9S costing less was such a nice surprise lol.

 

My problem now is that I want 2B as well now. From the start I only planned to get 9S because I really dont expect to afford them both at the same time. I thought I'd be okay with that because even though in the first pics 2B looked great, I felt like she'd only look great in her fullset. I basically only buy dolls that I want to dress up and enjoy playing with as opposed to buying a fullset just to display (even though I like having the fullsets I almost never use them...), and she kind of seemed like one of those 'just for display' dolls to me. ...and then I saw her face, and suddenly all I could think was how much I wanted to dress her up and how nice she'd look in basically anything and how much I want to see her and 9S in casual clothes together and then I started to feel bad thinking about 9S without 2B and this is how they get you.

 

I'm thinking I might have to pick 2B up later on from mandarake or something. Luckily preorder dolls arent too painful on the aftermarket.

I see that the sword blade is curved too, and I'm not sure we've seen the full extent. It probably is a tachi, which is cool.

Well, I AM liking 2B's lips and jawline, at any rate, but I need more pictures of her sans-mask to decide if I can actually use her for my OC or not. (I have zero interest in the original IP.) C'mon, Volks, display her somewhere with the eye mask off.

2B or not 2B? That is the question.

THIS. Oh my goodness this is exactly how I feel. It is why I could not just get Len Kagamine, I mean, what is Len without his Rin? Lol.

So, I do not know how I am going to pull it off yet, but I think I am going to go for both of them. At this rate it would be hard to convince me not to pre-order them. I think these will be my last dollfies for a while though (that is my excuse to get them at least).

I was also planning to only get 9S, but I must admit I'm really disappointed by what I see. I do think that they more-or-less did accurately sculpt them, although I don't understand why 9S has droopy eyes... and that's one feature that I REALLY hate in dolls. I actually really like 2B on the other hand. But my problem now is that I was hoping to get them with the fullsets, but I am really disappointed by their look? I don't think that they did the clothes justice at all, especially not with that soft-looking fabric. So idk... maybe if I can split 2B for the right price (cause damn is she really expensive???) from her fullset... although that sword is really nice looking ha! But I doubt anyone would want everything -but- the sword...

Thank you for the pictures!

 

Apologies for these questions in advance, but I have a lot. What was your impression of them in person? Does 2B have a narrower face or are the pictures accurate? Does she have a regular dy body or did they say it was different? I couldn't tell if the close-up was showing the costume detail or something else.

 

It's funny, I'm actually happy it ISN'T silky but also slightly wish it were a different fabric. They looked more like a velvet fabric and the photos look like a wool. I wouldn't be upset if they shift to be silkier though.

Huh, it looks like she's wearing a bodysuit. I wonder if she'll come with one, maybe custom-cut for her outfit?

I know the blindfold was necessary, but I can't decide if I like them this way. Lips and nose remind me a bit too much of Volks SD's. I really need to see their eyes before I know if I want them.

2B my future child

Good god, they are so cute. I really appreciate the suede-Like fabric, that's what I thought the game texture implied. I'm a little disappointed that 2B has painted hands instead of gloves, cause 9S' look really good. Now, 2B or 9S??? The struggle. I need more maskless pics.

I was afraid to post that, but it looks like bodysuit and nopan on this prototype.

Did you not see the pictures of their eyes, or did you just mean you need to see more?

She has that weird high-cut leotard on (over the bodysuit). You can see an edge of it under her skirt if you zoom in.

In the past some dolls that came with swords have had gloves for hands, Saber Lily for example, and some, like Sakura Shinguji, have come with gloves.

 

Sakura’s Sword has a smaller grip, so gloves were more workable.

 

Saber Lily came with regular hands too, those should always be included along with the base body, and the glove hands were in the box with her. Hopefully the eventual product site will include a photo of everything she comes with. They don’t always do that though.

You can see a slight wrinkle on her right thigh too.

Does anyone still take up front payment in full, or has that been nixed? I haven't participated in a preorder in a couple of years.

 

I like both so far, but I need more angles of their faces to decide, and I'd probably only get one if any.

Yup, USA had a full payment option on Jeanne and Saber, so I imagine they'll have one for the Nier dolls too.

Oh, is there an option to divvy up the payment? I vaguely remember hearing that. I'm dollfie ignorant, sigh.

*0* I DEFINITELY NEED 2B!!! I love her Sd-like face and she has a bit of a pout going on and I'd love to have a DDdy with a pouty face to go with my MDD with a pouty face. XD The price is a bit of a concern though. . . . I'll probably have to put money away each month and buy less but it'll be worth it. XD
